preflop i raise him little bigger to see where i'm and to give him litle worse odds for calling with set i go for 120
than on flop as played i bet smaler 110 (pot 190), and if i play it my way i bet it 180 (pot 270)
i dont seem he blufing that much in this spot
the Q is would he play it this way any Ax?
this is tough becouse this is very early in MTT so i might gamble and shove i dont hink he have KK or AA, i dont really think he have AK there, i think that hands he got there are 99 or K9s, A9 and some times AQ ,AX


preflop i raise too 100 or 120
players in such mtts will limp/call alot of times so i rais more to get more value
as played i bet a little bit less on the flop. the board is dry so you dont have to protect that hard.
120 is good enough here on that flop.
as played it tough.
he might be lose enough to c/r any ace
his limp/call looks like he is a week player who MIGHT do this.
but with just TPMK i think i fold here.
there will be better spots for you in this mtt then to gamble here with just a hand that weak.
